Versogen, Incyte make Money Moves
It’s been an eventful month for some of Delaware’s big names. Green hydrogen startup Versogen is looking at a few million in energy department funds soon, and oncology pharma company Incyte (which is also rumored to be expanding into downtown Wilmington) recently made a new clinical dermatology acquisition. Semiconductor part manufacturer Phase Sensitive Innovations is staying in Delaware, and JPMorgan Chase opened its first location in Kent County as part of a regional expansion.
The end of software as technology
This week’s Chris Wink column is based on his keynote at the Builders Conference at Philly Tech Week 2024. It examines a changing landscape where “tech” is no longer synonymous with cloud computing, mobile apps and software development, but also applies to building things.
I think in Delaware we have been at this point, where “tech” doesn’t mean software only, for a while, though our need for software dev talent isn’t going anywhere. But maybe, just maybe, “tech” will do better addressing the potential threats of AI that it did with social media.
